Enchanting Detached Period Cottage in the Heart of Waltham Village

Set close to the centre of the ever-popular village of Waltham, this captivating detached period cottage offers a rare blend of historic charm, generous living space and everyday practicality. Rich in character and individuality, the property presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive family home in one of the area’s most sought-after semi-rural locations.

The village itself is well regarded for its welcoming community feel and excellent range of local amenities, including schools, shops, public houses and a village library, while Grimsby and Cleethorpes are both within convenient commuting distance. Properties of this nature, offering such character in this setting, are seldom available.

Internally, the accommodation is far more spacious than first impressions suggest and is arranged to suit a variety of lifestyles. The ground floor provides several versatile reception areas, including an impressive main living room featuring a striking fireplace with a fuel-burning stove, a generous dining space ideal for entertaining, and a substantial home office that could equally function as a snug, sitting room or additional bedroom if required.

The fitted country-style kitchen complements the character of the home beautifully, offering ample storage and work space while remaining in keeping with the period feel. Overhead roof windows allow natural light to pour in, creating a bright and welcoming heart to the home. A well-appointed family bathroom features a roll-top bath, separate shower and WC, while the convenience of additional WCs to both floors adds to the practicality of everyday living.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with a particularly spacious principal bedroom, two further well-proportioned bedrooms and an open dressing area. This layout offers excellent flexibility, with clear potential for reconfiguration should additional bedroom space ever be desired.

Throughout the home, thoughtful modern updates such as double glazing and central heating sit comfortably alongside original features, ensuring comfort without compromising character. Several rooms benefit from dual aspects and patio doors, enhancing the sense of light and connection to the outdoors.

Externally, the property occupies an exceptional plot. A private paved parking area, accessed directly from the road, provides generous off-road parking and has previously accommodated larger vehicles. The rear garden is extensive and offers a wealth of possibilities for relaxation, entertaining or further landscaping, while a range of outbuildings provide useful storage or workshop space.
